Why wait ten years to bring this to light ?
A number of Warnock’s ex-players have made similar claims in various podcasts and interviews in recent years. Interesting, as I’ve never heard any former players make claims of this nature about any other manager.Originally Posted by dml1954
While the FA are investigating, they should take a look at the deal which brought the McKay twins to Cardiff.
Name the players involved and the location of the podcasts and interviews, so that we can all make an informed decision on whether to believe them or not. I repeat, why has Rowan Vine waited for 10 years before bringing this information forward ?
Jason Puncheon was one. Google it.
Why has Rowan Vine waited 10 years before bringing this information forward? No idea. You'd have to ask him. Wasn't it a TikTok video or something similar? Maybe he didn't intend to make the allegations publicly, but these things have a habit of surfacing eventually. But who cares? The information's out there now.
Any views on the magnificent McKay twins deal Warnock struck?
No, you google it and provide the information. You are the one who made the accusation. With regard to the Mckay twins, in order to make a decision on that, we need to know exactly how much they were paid and other details of their contracts - any ideas ?
Or on the transfer of Joey Barton from Newcastle to QPR when NW was QPR manager?
Or the football authorities looking into transfers arranged through an agency who at the time employed James Warnock when NW was Crystal Palace manager?
Or the football authorities being very concerned about transfers arranged through a different agency who by then had employed a certain James Warnock when NW was CCFC manager? At one point 9 of our squad were on that agency`s books which is a higher number than any other club in the EFL or Premier League. That included a couple of players that moved to that agency from another one.
Or of CCFC manager NW regularly picking his youngest son William to play in Development games ahead of more talented players, therefore partly blocking their development?
In my opinion, by far the most worrying activity was NW dealing with Willie McKay over a considerable period concerning the Emiliano Sala transfer when he knew full well that said individual was not an authorised intermediary (and also remains an undischarged bankrupt until at least August 2023 )and therefore was not allowed under FA and UEFA rules to have any involvement at all in football transfers. That would be the same Willie McKay who was the agent involved in the Joey Barton transfer mentioned above.
Perhaps he didn’t want to jeopardise anything during his career and decided to let a few years go by. Many allegations & truths come out years later for various reasons.....Saville, Prince Andrew, Bennell, Spacey etc. Doesn’t mean they’re any less serious if proved to be true.
An extremely reliable source said that this was "allegedly" happening at Middlesborough and was discovered by the owner. He was less than pleased and worked out a way for them to part without it becoming common knowldege. The same source advised me that Tan took great interest in the Bacuna transfer after Wanock had left, he was advised that the figures didn't stack up and we paid way away over both the purchase price and wages for a player of his quality and reputation. The only other bids were in the £800k mark.
Weren't the McKay twins on the radar of many Championship clubs at the time?
Investgated for ???
He belongs to an age where dodgy deals are done and he was successful in a sport full of corruption
Remind me never to employ you to defend me if I ever have to face charges.
Lol
So one then? Guess that is a 'number' 🤣
So predictable
What is?
There was a Sheff U player (I think) who said Warnock would only put a sub on if they split the appearance fee. Can't remember who it was now.
Edit: If the game was safe or gone - it wasn't a general policy.
Maybe he wanted to wait until Warnock retired?
Didn't we consider signing Rowan Vine when Warnock released him at QPR, or was it just silly season on the message board?
Has Warnock retired though ? He has said he has before.
I thought we were after him from Luton?
Do your own research if you’re interested. I’m too busy trying to find more information about the massive Madine loan fee. It’s eluded me thus far.

Interesting.
No matter what their contracts were they had **** all business being here.
The point that i am making here us that if they were paid peanuts (which I believe they were) and as they were brought in as ‘squad fillers’ to only add experience to the reserves (which is what i remember from the time and they certainly didn't get anywhere near the first team) then why does everyone get so upset about their signings. They will have cost the club very little in wages/bonuses. These sort of things are just an excuse used by the ‘Warnock haters’ to continually beat him and the club over the head.
